Those vile zinosits

Hamas' fascists are continuing with their terror campaign against the residents of Gaza. Yesterday, a group of Hamas militants kidnapped Hamam Jundyah from his displacement tent in Gaza city to an unknown place because of his public criticism of Hamas. Hamam was threatened multiple by Hamas' members times after he participated in the anti-Hamas protests during the war, and now his whereabouts remain unknown.

Here's the missed context: a group of terrorist settlers decided to set up an outpost near the family's house in the village of Jalud near Nablus (something that's illegal per Israel's law), attacked and terrorized the family for weeks, and sieged them in their house until they were forced to leave it. Weeks after, Israel's High Court of Justice ordered the family's safe return to be ensured; the IDF attempted to assist the family to reach their home only for a mob of 100 settlers to attack and set multiple homes (including the family's home), vehicles and other properties in the village on fire.

Shall we start talking about the need for deradicalization for these communities?

One may have read the same title over a hundred times during the past year. Settler terrorists attacked Palestinian villages, set homes ablaze, and the army arrived. No arrests have been made, and then the scenario gets repeated the next week, if not the same week, in another village. One can't think of a state's institution that's not complicit in these atrocities, from the government that empowers, backs and shields these terrorists from any sort of accountability to the army, who sometimes assists those rioters or arrests the same Palestinians who were attacked or, at best, does nothing while watching these groups terrorize an entire society, to the Israeli polic that never shows up and the list goes on. We can talk all the time about how those are just small terrorist groups within the settler community, but we should also talk about how most of the state's institutions are complicit in this campaign to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from their homes and villages.

Oh, they just freed Palestine.

Imagine being persecuted by Hamas, having to leave Gaza and make your way all the way to Europe because you could no longer live safely under their rule, only to arrive in Germany and see people who have never experienced Hamas romanticizing and glorifying the very organization that harmed and persecuted you. There is nothing in the protest about caring for Palestinians' lives, only a bunch of protestors who are willing to support Hamas, the IRGC, and any other death cult group as long as it promises them to fight Israel. The Video is from Düsseldorf, Germany, today.

@HowidyHamza reported this two weeks before it became a big headline in the UK press

In my latest piece on "NAZA" for @MEastUncovered that the problem with the pro-Israel establishment is that they imagine a word that stopped on October the 7th and that what happened on that day justified all that came after. It's also worth saying that the atrocities of October 7 were horrific and inflicted real harm on Israelis. Saying so takes nothing away from what has happened since. There is now an extensive record of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israeli forces in Gaza and the West Bank, and the scale of death, displacement, and destruction in Gaza has far exceeded that of October 7. One atrocity does not cancel out another. NAZA, through the testimony of Israelis who participated in the war, adds another account to that record.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian delegation was denied entry to the UN, while Al Jolani, a former al-Qaeda jihadist, and Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian were welcomed into New York to address world leaders in person. Let that sink in.

Important plans for Gaza’s recovery from Trump’s @BoardOfPeace. Hopefully, these plans do not remain words on paper. Let the @NCAG police begin working in Gaza, Hamas be completely disarmed, and Israel’s military finally stop bombing Gaza (something Israel agreed to months ago, yet the bombardment has continued until today). Gaza deserves much better.

What unites the pro-Israel movement and the radical figures within the pro-palestine movement? My latest for @MEastUncovered themiddleeastuncovered.com/p…

Meccah agreement, Sanaa agreement, Cairo Agreement, Doha agreement, Algiers Declaration, Beijing Declaration, and probably 5 other agreements that i forgot to mention didn't work. would this one work? It would not and Abbas knows this.
